So farewell then, Emlyn Hughes
English footballer with a Welsh name.
Crazy Horse, that's what they called you.
Best song the Osmonds
Ever recorded.

Nooooo! I liked him. Especially when he kept getting whacked by Princess Anne for being cheeky. He was the only thing that made my mother's avid watching of A Question Of Sport half bearable!

Why Crazy Horse?

I think it was because of his mad enthusiasm for the game right up to the day he retired.

If you ever saw him celebrate a goal by a team memeber (or himself) it almost invariably involved running the length of the pitch and turning cartwheels.

It's probably more related to the Indian chief than a horse, to be fair.

Why, I don't know.

Maybe he was a wicked fly half?

They don't have fly halfs in soccer, m'dear.

Or in Westerns.

There is only one form of football, and that has fly halves.

The other kind is a bastardize remix featuring Blue, Jive Bunny and Darius on drums.

Do you think 6 cups of coffee in a day is too many?

According to this it was because he was a bit of a reckless tackler. Although why 'Crazy Horse' and not, say, 'Crazy Mongoose' or 'Crazy Gnu' is anyone's guess.

I can understand why not "Crazy Tackle", though...

Hey, where else would you get meaningful discussions about Emlyn Hughes' bedroom prowess? Excuse me, I think I need to be sick now.
